Hi all,

I have a one-month window coming up in a few days during which time I plan on getting my engine rebuilt properly. I am desperately seeking a set of ARIAS RB25DET *NEO* forged pistons; these must be a copy of the OEM piston, not an off-the-shelf variety (these are all for '33).

I am aware of a set of CP NEO pistons being sold on here however they are 86.5mm (first oversize) which my block already is, so I would need a new block to use those.

I have contacted SPOOL imports but the guys is on annual leave. Ordering through an Australian supplier who doesn't have any in stock will incur the 4-6 week wait while they are made in and delivered from ARIAS' facility in the US.

Anyone know where I can get a set at short notice? Yes I've tried ebay...

cheers

if you honestly need them just do a google search and ring/email every single shop you find.

this is what i would do, even email ARIAS direct? might find they have a set there/ or being made as we speak

air express ahould only take 5-7days max?

I will try; the engine builder I consulted says that these are a custom order and that ARIAS do not have any stock. Which is the same story I seem to be getting from the other retailers...

ohh bummer then

i guess asking arias yourself could be the only answer to see if there available or not.

not looking at other brands?

Yes looking at other brands... only other ones I've heard of are Wiseco and CP; CP are apparently OK but I haven't asked the builder about Wiseco. I wouldn't even know where to get these from as I don't know if they have the custom measurements on file for RB25 NEO.

Pistons can be organized VERY quickly.

Ring up Quantum Racing in Brisbane, they're the CP importers, give them the specs and tell them its a rush order and you need them as fast as humanly possible.

With custom pistons they can be done very quickly, the price goes up by a percentage based on how rushed they are. With JE from memory its 50% surcharge for a 48hour turnaround, then express air mail which takes about a week door to door.

Expect to spend more than $900, but you will get them done in time.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
